http://thesculpted.com/news/7000-day-candles-solo-show-arthur-roger-gallery&amp;nbsp;Includes new work/techniques I developed at my Joan Mitchell Center residency this summer. &amp;nbsp;The show features 4 objects and a Stasseo mural. &amp;nbsp;The objects are solid-state video monitors with a perforated print covering the screen, and cradled in a custom frame. Conceptually, and literally, they are video versions of 7-Day Candles. As you would burn a candle and meditate on a certain aspect of your life-situation you would like to improve, you run this video until the monitor finishes it&#39;s burn, and the full potential of it&#39;s intervention will be reached. I&#39;m calling them 7000-Day Candles. &amp;nbsp;There will be 4 different colored/themed monitors, each for a different area of focus. Red/Love, Green/Luck, etc. &amp;nbsp;On each individual monitor there is an oval window with a candle in it, three circular windows which have rotating icons, or &quot;ingredients,&quot; that make up the essence of each, and scrolling instructions (similar to the statement below, but specific to each candle). &amp;nbsp;The monitor comes with a piece of parchment paper to write your intention on and place behind the monitor while burning.The Stasseo mural will be a fictional, French Quarter-inspired shop-window facing out towards the street. It looks like an exotic marquee, but is subtle, by my standards. &amp;nbsp;So the effect is: the viewer is looking out at the world through a marquee, and no one is looking back. It is a simple, and open, metaphor but has a lot of contemporary relationships to spirituality, technology, transhumanism, etc.Statement below:7,000 DAY CANDLES&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; VITALITY!
